Workstation Pro 14 Kernel Module updater fails to build vmmon after upgrading OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to kernel 4.14.2-1-default

After updating OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to kernel 4.14.2-1-default, Workstation Pro 14 Kernel Module updater fails to build vmmon.

My kernel is as follows:

jsberrios@avenger:~> uname -r

4.14.2-1-default

After workstation fails to update the kernel module, I get the following message in the log file:

2017-12-04T23:02:27.814-05:00| vthread-1| I125: Setting destination path for vmmon to "/lib/modules/4.14.2-1-default/misc/vmmon.ko".

2017-12-04T23:02:30.538-05:00| vthread-1| W115: Failed to build vmmon.  Failed to execute the build command.

I am attaching the complete log file as I do not know how to fix this problem.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You need patched kernel-modules, which you get from here:
